Here are some collagraph prints / plates made by my daughter whilst she was home over Xmas.
I am still ‘thinking’ about my Ebb and Flow book. I just can’t make any decisions at the moment!
So the allotment has been progressing instead!

Well the good weather has meant more allotment work than arty work.
Onto raised bed no.3 now at the plot
On the art front I just purchased some tasty Japanese paints. They are so beautiful. As displacement activity I painted the colour swatch.

As the weather continues to be fine there is much to do in the garden to distract me from printmaking!
Lettuces transplanted into bigger quarters, seedlings moved into pots and the sweet peas have just sprouted.
Hopefully we will have some lettuce during the Autumn and Winter…

Summer has been distracting me / that and deciding to take on a new allotment on the spur of the moment!
There is a slight weed issue
And the farm plot needs to be dismantled
At home the produce is good

More screenprinting of circles and type today – still playing around with pieces for Home exhibition book.
Then into the garden for some compost moving and spreading! Came across this lovely circular piece of ice with 2 leaves trapped in it. Found it on top of a metal bucket of weeds!

I was turning 1 of my 11 compost heaps today and came across the remnants of a wasp nest. I had to avoid it all summer as the wasps were very active. Now the wasps are gone I can enjoy the beauty of their living quarters!
